Chapter 181: The Way of the Emperor

Fang Yuan was surrounded by many things, but he still talked and laughed calmly, which made Zhu Cizhi secretly frightened.

Zhu Cizhi had obviously gained the upper hand and forced Fang Yuan to a dead end, but he still felt a chill in his vest. After all, he was still a young man who was less than fourteen years old, and he had already witnessed Fang Yuan's brilliant record of defeating Liangshan Liukou before, and at this juncture, he was still very afraid of Fang Yuan's ability to turn defeat into victory.

Qiu'er saw that Zhu Cizhi was showing timidity, and hurriedly stepped forward to cheer him up and said, "King Yong, don't listen to him and be alarmist, and immediately order to take him down first." ”

With Qiu'er's encouragement, Zhu Cizhi had the courage to order the soldiers of the palace to come forward and arrest Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan sat motionless at the table, Qin Zhan immediately commanded the Jinyi Guards to meet the enemy, the accompanying Jinyi Guards were the elite of the elite, using the latest muskets, as well as a complete set of explosion-proof equipment, how could the soldiers of the Royal Mansion fight against it?

After a round, more than a dozen people were killed by Jinyiwei, and the rest were frightened and kept retreating, where did they dare to take people?

Zhu Cizhi saw that he couldn't gnaw on the hard bone of Xia Yuan at all, so he was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he looked at Qiu'er as if asking for help.

Qiu'er was unusually calm and began to assign tasks in an orderly manner.

"Set aside a hundred men to protect the eternal king."

"Inform the sergeants outside the palace and attack immediately!"

Fang Yuan didn't stop Qiu'er from moving the rescuers, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Zhu Cizhi leisurely, "King Yong, you tell me, it's not easy to kill people?" ”

Zhu Cizhi hesitated and said, "No, it's easy. ”

Fang Yuan said lightly, "Of course it's easy to kill someone, as long as you take advantage of someone and stab it in, you will kill someone, it's not easy?" ”

"But it is not easy to kill, because if you kill someone, you will be punished by the law and pay for the life of the person who was killed. You say, where is it easy to kill people? ”

Zhu Cizhi lowered his gaze, not daring to look directly at Fang Yuan, he was very afraid of this teacher Fang Yuan, and his hands were trembling.

Fang Yuan continued, "King Yong doesn't understand this reason, it's very ordinary. For there are many people in history who think they are wiser than the king of Yong, but they also do not understand this principle. ”

He glanced at Qiu'er, who was forcibly calming on the side, and said, "Han Situ Wang Yun, he did everything he could, thinking that everything would be fine if he killed Dong Zhuo, but the whole family paid for Dong Zhuo's life." ”

"Huan Xuan of the Southern Dynasty, how bold he is, he also calculated everything, thinking that everything would be fine if he killed Liu Gaozhi of the Beifu Army, but the whole clan paid for Liu Gaozhi's life."

"Emperor Wei Xiaozhuang, thought that everything would be fine if he killed Er Zhurong, but Emperor Xiaozhuang also paid for Er Zhurong's life."

"King Yong, if a simple assassination can solve the problem of the throne, who would dare to be the emperor? If a simple assassination can solve the problem of a powerful minister, who would dare to be a powerful minister? ”

He listed one by one the examples in history where he was clever to play assassination, but suffered a tragic failure, and dragged the whole family and even the whole clan to accompany the funeral. ”

Fang Yuan continued, "King Yong, what is the way of the emperor? The way of the emperor is how to win over the largest number of supporters, rally around you, and approve of your rule. In short, the process is to unite supporters, win over neutrals, and strike at opponents. ”

"King Yong, I have a grudge against you?"

Zhu Cizhi said in a trembling voice, "No, no! ”

Fang Yuan said, "Even if I'm not your supporter, at least I'm a neutral, right?" You have to attack and assassinate even neutrals by any means, if you really become an emperor, you are ready to force the whole world to rebel, right? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's control method is quite clear, that is, by repeatedly breaking the rules to enhance Fang Yuan's status, to free up space for Fang Yuan to reward the Xuanjia Army, to appease the military spirit of the Xuanjia Army, and to put an end to the situation that Song Taizu is wearing a yellow robe. and then by supporting Zhu Cihuan and marrying Kunxing, Fang Yuan's disobedience was appeased.

And Zhu Cizhi, a political imbecile, obviously did not have Chongzhen's vision and means, and he even wanted to eliminate Fang Yuan through an assassination, and then regain control of Yangzhou Mansion and Changzhou Mansion from Fang Yuan, which was simply stupid.

Qiu'er saw that Zhu Cizhi looked like he had arrived home, and when she looked outside the lobby, there was still no movement, and shouted, "Why haven't the two thousand sergeants come in yet?" ”

The soldiers of the palace outside the gate hurriedly came to report, "Lord Wang, the sergeants outside the palace refuse to obey the edict, but only besiege the palace and never enter." ”

The sudden change of the sergeant outside the mansion was simply beyond Zhu Cijiong and Qiu'er's expectations, and the two of them were as dead as death, and they didn't know what was happening in between.

Fang Yuan reprimanded Zhu Cizhi, and finally it was Qiu'er, the culprit behind him, "Qiu'er, you think you are extremely smart, right?" But you are clever but you are mistaken by cleverness, you have already lost! ”

Zhu Cizhi said in a trembling voice, "Teacher, I, lost, lost?" ”

Fang Yuan saw that he still didn't know anything when he was defeated, and couldn't help but feel pity for his misfortune and anger, "King Yong, let me tell you, where you lost. ”

Fang Yuan stood up and said slowly, "The sergeant outside the palace is not the personal soldiers of the Yongwang Mansion, but the sergeant of the guard sent by Ma Minglu, right?" ”

Zhu Cizhi said hesitantly, "Yes, yes." ”

Fang Yuan approached him, was close to him, and said, "Ma Shiying, Liu Zeqing, and Ma Minglu recommended you to take the lead, is it because you have prestige, or because you have the ability?" They're just asking you to carry the blame. If you can kill our Yuan, they will break into the palace, kill you, and then report to the court, you are the murderer; If you can't kill me, I'll let you go afterwards? ”

He put one hand on Zhu Cijiong's trembling shoulder, and said unhurriedly, "O Yongwang! Whether or not you succeed in assassinating me, you will be doomed. From the moment you agreed to take the lead in assassinating our Yuan, this ending was already doomed! ”

Zhu Cizhi really realized now that engaging in conspiracy is really not a dinner party, using the IQ of him and Qiu'er to play these conspiracies and tricks, it is naΓ―ve to go home.

Zhu Cizhi collapsed to the ground in fright, grabbed Qiu'er's hand and said, "Qiu'er, you speak, speak!" ”

Qiu'er was a little calmer than him, staring at Fang Yuan and saying, "Fang Yuan, you are alarmist, according to what you said, why didn't they just enter the palace and kill us all?" ”

Fang Yuan sighed and said, "Qiu'er, because they are a hundred times smarter than you, they have long seen through that the winner of this battle is not in the palace at all, not whether they can take our life immediately, but whether they can completely defeat or disintegrate the Xuanjia Army!" ”

"If they can defeat and disintegrate the Xuanjia Army, I will definitely die."

"If the Xuanjia army can defeat the army of Ma Shiying and Liu Zeqing and go north to Yangzhou Mansion, they will come to surrender to me nine times out of ten, and it is inferred that the displaced people are in rebellion and stay out of the matter."

"If they kill our Yuan at this time, they will cut off all the way back. On the day when the Xuanjia Army captured Yangzhou Mansion, they would inevitably give me Fang Yuan a burial! ”

Qiu'er still refutated without admitting defeat, "Fang Yuan, if they don't kill you, you won't find them to settle accounts afterwards?" A group of timid rats, not enough to succeed and more than to lose! ”

"After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he intercepted a large number of letters of fornication with Yuan Shao, why didn't he open a killing ring?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "They are not cowardly, but they think that our Fang Yuan is a hundred times smarter than you, and they will never kill for the news of chasing the wind and shadows, because it is a no-name teacher." The indiscriminate killing will cause turmoil in Yangzhou and arouse the suspicion of other warlords. ”

Fang Yuan analyzed the plans of Ma Shiying, Liu Zeqing, and Ma Minglu clearly, and Qiu'er was speechless when she heard it, and lowered her head and said nothing. Because of her self-righteous instigation, she and the Yongwang were sent to this point of no return.

Zhu Cizhi asked in despair, "Teacher, what should I do now?" ”

Fang Yuan sighed secretly, helped him up, and said in a deep voice, "We can only wait and see what happens in the palace, waiting for them to decide the final victory with the Xuanjia Army." ”

It was the first time that the Xuanjia Army was facing the crisis of not having Fang Yuan's decision. Jing Jie, there are other generals who will understand what measures to take, whether they will be leaderless and fight on their own, Fang Yuan is also very uncertain.

This battle is actually the touchstone of Jing Jie and the Xuanjia Army, whether Jing Jie and the Xuanjia Army have the ability to take charge of themselves, we will see after this battle!
